Hey fellow stoners,

So i am planning on starting a nice small grow to get the new year rolling. I have a closet with dimensions of about 2 1/2 feet deep, 5 wide and about 7 feet tall. My plan is to grow 5-8 plants in a Hyrdo/soil setup, possibly SoG but iam not to confident in that technique. My question is how many and what size lamps should i be using?, and what ventilation those lamps would require. I was thinking 2x 400HPS with a DiY carbon scrubber. Iam not too possitive on were to go with this and any imput would be very appriciated, time to go burn one :blsmoke:

one 600 watt would be better (around same amount of lumens, just less energy used), and be able to grow 5-8 plants in that space. Get a fan anywhere from 300-450 cfm w/ a carbon scrubber, if no scrubber than 250 cfm or around there.
Htg supply has a nice deal with a 424 cfm 6" fan with carbon scrubber for 199

Sog, is a bunch of plants close together, and are flowered when they're small.

Are you talking about Scrog? Screen of green

yes i was thinking of the SCRoG technique, my bad. Would a 600HPS lamp not heat the room very easily though?, would a 400-450 cfm fan leading into a appropiate carbon scrubber give me enough ventilation or would i need a intel fan aswell (maybe a vent from the attic about my closet?), iam assuming a rising pattern in the air flow would make more sense, intel at the bottom and exit through the top because heat rises?
